I like it.....a lot.

Against an aggressive opponent who may be tilting, the 3x check-call is just beautiful. On the flop, its a WA/WB scenario - no reason to raise - you only get called by AK or AA. On the turn, its a WA/WA scenario - he's got 2 outs at most. You are ahead. Let him bluff. He is weak - so a raise gets you nothing here. On the river, forget donk-betting - let him fire again!

I have used this line with great frequency / success lately against over aggressive players. It looks like you are hoping your QQ is good.

I also like this play alot against aggressive players. On the flop you don't know if you're ahead or if he's on AA and has you beat. On the turn, you probably have him beat and you just let him hang himself. There's no point in raising, he's just going to fold hands that he would bet again with.

hmmm... in order i'd say:

1. AK
2. KK
3. AA

I find it hard to believe a guy could bluff that many times. Reraise preflop, followed by a bet on every street including rather small bets on the turn and river.

I screwed this one up by misposting the turn card.
This was supossed to be one of the reverse hands where I am actually the villian, but I blew it by misposting the hand. Anyway, I had AA and HE had AK. I took his stack.

The moral of the story (before I screwed the hand postin up) was that you normally dont want to call a reraise with AK unless the reraiser is a LAG.

Youre 2-1 against to flop TPTK. When you do hit it, youre either drawing dead to AA / KK...or youre going to win a small to medium pot against QQ. (or split vs AK)

Its not a great spot to be in unless the reraiser could have AQ or will go much to far with QQ/JJ.

I was also the one who said he folded KK and I really did have KK in that 1st hand. I tried to slowplay and it backfired on me.

AKo is my 2nd most profitable hand behind AA.

I never call a reraise with it preflop.

It seems that so many players watch poker on TV and think AK is a monster hand. It's a drawing hand, and if you are calling a reraise, you've just lost most of your outs.

It's a win small, lose big scenario which I avoid.

Good point...though you're still calling 4x with it ya? But, feeling out the flop.

what a about calling a raise(not a RE-Raise) with it ? say from a mid position against an ep raiser ?

Im not crazy about that either, but I do it some of the time and also reraise some of the time, depending on who the raiser is. (I also fold maybe 1/3 of the time)
